Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[Britt11]

We're definitely all still in it! 10DPO would be a pretty early BFP.

I feel very bloated & am having AF-like cramping tonight. Difficult not to read into it, but I know I shouldn't. Resisting the temptation to test tomorrow.

ohh exciting, g.l. with the test hold out if you can by 12dpo but i understand if you want to test earlier. I have cramps and bloat too, played 90 mins of soccer in 28 degree weather, so thinking that might have something to do with it.
AF isnt due until Friday, so trying to hold off until then if I can (snuck one at 8dpo already lol)

 

[MrsJPC]

sorry Sunshine, I hope you are ok.

On a more positive note it is nice to have a month off and not to be obsessing about cramping and sore boobs!

Have a very heavily pregnant siser in law staying with me at the moment, she is still awaiting a move date.

Surely there should be some good kalma coming my way??

Hope you 2 ww's are all ok!

that must be absolute torture mrs jpc, sound slike you should be due some of your own good news!

have taken af arriving very hard this month, it taken me days to feel something like a normal person, still very close to tears, and on cd5!!

doing iui again this month, will prob be end of next week

good luck to all of you near the end of 2ww

[MarsMaiden]

that is tough mrsjpc, i know i am finding it very hard to be around pregnant people right now!

I got my calender through and my next IUI is scheduled for Aug 2nd. I'm doing everything posibble though for this natural cycle so you never know, maybe I won't need it!!

Good luck to everyone testing this week, fingers crossed for some BFPs in here!

MrsJPC - You should definitely be scoring some points with the fertility gods

Sunshine - Sorry you're having a rough time this round. Some AF's are harder to get past than others. Wishing you a speedier bounce-back.

Mars - Good luck with your natural cycle. Don't you want to be one of those success stories about when you stopped trying so hard?

Britt & Zee - hope you guys are hanging in there. Final stretch now. I caved and tested this morning. I have to say it was a BFN, but part of me swears I saw the faintest of lines. Could have just been the test bleeding through or me seeing things. I will likely cave and test again tomorrow.

I've been having AF-like cramping morning & night and low-back pressure. I am going to feel like such a fool for symptom spotting if AF shows up on Thursday.

 

[MrsJPC]

Sunshine I am like you. I did ok last week but I am on the verge of tears daily. I know Mars has said it before, but I hate being so out of control. I am seriously not a cry baby, but I can burst into tears at the drop of a hat at the moment.

My sister in law's baby is due next Sunday. I have said they can stay until this weekend, but I feel incredibly guilty. But again they got themselves into this mess. Moving never goes to plan, but to do it when you are so heavily pregnant!

I do kind of feel like it is all a bit of a sick joke! I mean seriously would you move in with someone who has been trying for two years and justed failed their first IUI, nearly nine months pregnant??

sorry to rant - Mars maybe we can be smug and do it the natural way this month - who knows!

Least we have each other ladies. Always happy to hear your rants!!

And lots of good luck to the ladies on their 2ww.

God we all deserve some luck!

MrsJPC - sorry you're having a rough time. I hope your SIL is being sensitive to you - whether or not you've shared with her where you are on TTC. It's a pretty crappy situation for you, so you're perfectly justified to rant.

AFM, I can hardly believe it, but I actually got a this morning. I had faint lines the last two days - so faint I didn't think they were reliable. This morning's is definitely there! Wow - 3+ years trying, no diagnosed issues, plus I'm pushing 37. I hope that gives you some hope

Zee & Britt - Any news? Pulling for you guys!

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Hi ladies. Can I join you

Thinking of going the IUI route in a few months.....want to take a much needed break from this ttc business from now until then.

Would love to hang around here to get educated and also cheer you ladies on

 

[Wallie]

Wow Lola, that's brilliant news, congratulations on your Exciting stuff eh!

Hopefully my next cycle will be IUI, or rather it had better be. I'm expecting a letter to confirm that anyway. I'm in the 2ww just now and if my dates are right I should have the IUI around 22nd July. I hope it works too. 3 years ttc and OH has been diagnosed with antibodies in his sperm, so three goes at IUI then 3 goes of IVF. I hope we don't need all that though!

Good luck everyone else and commiserations to those who IUI didn't work this time. FX'd next time or IVF

 

[zeezee]

OMIGOD LOLA!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

I am so so happy for you sweetheart, that is fabulous fabulous news!

I am waiting for AF to arrive - she waved from a distance yesterday (v light spotting) but has yet to turn up. I am ok with it now, I just want to move onto the next cycle and get started - and I go up to 150mg clomid so hopefully that will give more options.

[Britt11]

OMG Lola, that is for awesome, congrats!!!!!!!!!!

So happy for you and especially because you thought you were out!! Thanks for sharing your story that does give the rest of us hope.
what dosage of Clomid were you on?
make sure you check in on us and let us know how you're doing

welcome Isi, as you can see IUI can be very successful.
Hello to all the new girls

Zeezee- I know how you feel, havent tested today but I did yesterday and was a bfn so think I'm out- AF should be do tomorrow.
going to try IUI again next month though

That is wonderful news lola! I'm so excited for you!!!! Hoping you have a very healthy pregnancy!!

 

[lola13]

Thank you everyone for your good wishes. I haven't even told DH yet, so I'm so glad I can share with you guys!

I was on my third round of clomid at 100mg - not sure why my doctor had me on that high dosage since I ovulate on my own. It was my first IUI. I am always second guessing timing, so for anyone that's interested, here was my schedule for BD/OPK/IUI:

CD17 - BD evening
CD18 - 1st Peak on CBFM
CD19 - IUI mid-morning & BD evening

I worked out normally during the TWW (I tried not working out other cycles & that didn't work). I swam, walked, and did higher impact cardio. I even went into the sauna a few days - so much for being careful not to raise body temp.

In my gut, I think IUI made a difference. I've always been concerned about my cervical mucous killing off the sperm on their little trip. I'll never know for sure, but I think IUI was the trick.

 

[MarsMaiden]

Congrats Lola - that is amazing news, you must be so happy!! *hugs*

 

[zeezee]

hmmmmm, AF where are you?

clomid lengthens your cycle doesn't it??

 

[Britt11]

hmmmmm, AF where are you?

clomid lengthens your cycle doesn't it??

hmmm...I'm wondering the same thing and I had a temp increase this morning at 14dpo but no positive test...
how about you, I cant link onto your FF chart...what is your temps like today?

 

[Britt11]

oh and Clomid doesnt normally lengthen my cycle, I am steady at 28 days sometimes 27
xx

 

[zeezee]

Hi Britt - I * think * my chart link now works (I wish I could get a cute ticker to work!!). My temp is steady I think, no drop. I have a 26-28 day cycle, so AF could still arrive tomorrow and I kind of feel like she is coming except for the big boobs with some veins. I have not tested in 2 days and won't test until Sunday (DH's stupid idea, but I agreed and he's holding me to it!!).

Did you test this morning?
